I did knew that, sorry for replying late.When Lewis thought of writing books for childrens, he was discouraged by many people including tolkien.Fortunately, he didnt heed his advice and went on to write 'Chronicles of Narnia'.Its a cool story...though I dont understand something-was he writing these story after being influenced by paganism or christanity?

Who cares anyway...the stuff was good enough...

What about the use Jeffrey Hunter, a man with blue eyes and blond hair, in the movie "King of Kings' as Jesus Christ? Where lies the 'closeness to reality' in that?

Surprisingly, this picture is becoming a worldwide new of Christ!

What colour are elves really?

Tolkien wrote the hobbits to reflect the the 'British Tommy' the ordinary soldiers, the little man who gets on with the struggle and triumphs over adversity when all the lords etc are doing other important things.

I thought Sam was the hero - his unswerving loyalty kept his 'mate' 'pal' 'buddy' going even when despairer was setting in.

Orks were the Nazi SS battalions and tank regiments = Black uniforms (maybe) kenski70 to advise?

Why does every debate turn in to one of colour?  While the original story is great the film is however pretty disappointing and a damn waste of �5.60 enterance fee and parking.

Or they could remake Lord of the Rings with black actors and make the bad guys white.
